  2. Key to my happiness Chardetastic
  3. My biggest influence was parr hall in warrington until i went there My main thing was the mod scene and scooter runs that i used to turn up at My first nighter at the parr hall Basicly blew me away and got me into the real side of soul music without the clothes and lifestyle aspect of being a yoof Now I can be obsessed by soul music but not be botherd about the width of my kecks

  5. From the book Our dads only brother was none other than lightweight champion of the world Bob Montgomery Better known as Bobcat Montgomery. In 1943 and 1947 our uncle bob held this coveted title. Our dad managed his career for several years Uncle bob it is
  6. Uncle As for the book It was nice to read about my favourite soulstress but to be honest,with her sister writing it you dont seem to get the whole warts an all story with chunks of stuff glossed over Her sister seems to have loved her,even idolised her has an older sibling and the book shows this in bucket loads. I would still recommend it as the tale of a hugely talented but sadly tragic star
  7. If im at a venue early doors I apreciate the DJ playing stuff thats lesser known and new to my ears Theres plenty of time to worry about dancefloors later on.
  8. One way of me able to choose a venue, if its a crowded weekend is that i can cross any venue with a no smoking policy off my list and attend a venue where i can smoke my way into an early grave Soul and smokey rooms Like bread and butter or Marvin and tammi

  14. punk never got a big hold in liverpool along with being one of those sweatie type heavy metal chaps When i was a young mod running around the mean streets of wavertree i always got loads of trouble off the resident scalls But that was nothing compared to the punks and grebos who used to get webbed all over the place on a regular basis by liverpools wedge haired yoof I think its easier in liverpool to go with the flow than stick your had over the parapit
  15. There was a monthly soul night in liverpool that never got off the ground properly so ended up getting binned last year The soul academy Not enough punters turned up,so the managment pulled the plug there are the odd nights that pop up from time to time but there is no big support for northern soul in liverpool for some reason probably something to do with it being classed as a woolyback ting like la
  16. It was a toss up when i got married ,between Hand it over ...C..Jackson or My baby loves me..D.T.Walker Ended up going for the second one whatever you pick you end up feeling like a buffoon dancing on an empty dancefloor with all your old anties watching
  17. time for my favourite wigan joke with this being a wiagn thread Who has the cleanest balls in wigan? Uncle joe people are always sucking them wheres my hat
  18. When you have one of the modern/urban myths in your head like the only man made thing you can see from space is the great wall of china and Walking round the street with wet hair gives you a cold the same thing happens with this subject the magic number is 70k Dont know where i first heard it or who collated the info But its one of those things that stuck in my head.
  19. oopppss It was more of a shock to me that a group that made something as fantastic as "wont you please be my girl" were in the main a white group.(one of my all time favourite records) i had a picture in my mind of an all black group. Did i saw geeky? I meant groovy
  20. The magazine gave me a hell of a shock when i turned to page 75 and there was a picture of the soulville allstars sometimes you are surprised when you see the faces that make the music but the geeky looking gang on the photo was a real surprise.
  21. The best shoes for dancing that i know of that are easy to get hold of are the Base(london) shoe with the leather sole If you do decide to walk the leather sole route dont forget Brand new leather soled footwear should never be worn in wet weather conditions, It is important to wear them on a dry day to allow a build up of grit on the soles, doing this will help protect the leather and extend the life of the footwear
  22. Im 39 next month And i still always insist on a button down shirt Ive got away from the ben sherman button down to be obsessed by the lacoste button down shirt(checked of course) So i suppose im moving in the right direction sort of
  23. Cant speak for everyones sprogs on here But My eldest who is 17 is coming to prestatyn next sunday (when the people im with go home on sunday afternoon they are exchanging wrist bands to let my daughter and her "fella " in) She is only coming out of curiosity Because all her life she has been bombarded with soul but has grown up and gone into a music scene that is from her age group. God knows why we expect young people to hang around with middle aged people Because if that was offerd to me when i was a young un i would of told my ald fella to f....right off
  24. Got two kids One 17 the other 9 The 17 year old is into "Dance Music" and doesnt have much time for northern The 9 year old moans when a cd goes on in the car and starts moaning about me playing "soul" rubbish Bloody kids
  25. My fave blue eyed soul sound is point of view....Blue jays No ones mentioned them so far is it because no one likes it or is it Because they are black and ive got the wrong end of the stick again
